Sports weekend with Izvestia

Football

Champions League. The final. PSG — Arsenal

On the weekend, the European football season will end with the main event — the Champions League final. For the second year in a row, French PSG can win this trophy with Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov. Only if our goalkeeper was in reserve last time, now he will most likely be in the main squad, which has never happened to our representatives in this role at the level of the Champions League finals. Safonov's team will be opposed by Arsenal in London, which recently became the champion of England for the first time in 22 years.

May 30, 19:00, Puskas Arena (Budapest, Hungary).

Live broadcast on Okko.

Sergey Pavlovich — Tallison Teixeira

Sergey Pavlovich, one of the most famous Russian fighters, will perform in Macau, China, next weekend. He will fight in the framework of the UFC Fight Night 277 tournament. After a series of setbacks, our heavyweight has won two fights and will now enter the octagon against the famous Brazilian Tallison Teixeira. If he wins, Pavlovich will have a chance to move closer to the title of champion of the promotion in his weight class.

Hockey

The Stanley Cup. Eastern Conference Finals. The fifth match. Carolina Hurricanes — Montreal Canadiens

The NHL season is also nearing its end. The first finalist of the playoffs is already known. The Vegas Golden Knights of Ivan Barbashev and Pavel Dorofeev advanced from the Western Conference to the decisive Stanley Cup series, defeating the Colorado Avalanche 4-0 in four matches. Now he is waiting for his opponent from the East. Which can be determined as early as the weekend following the results of the fifth match of the series between the Carolina Hurricanes of Andrei Svechnikov and Alexander Nikishin and the Montreal Canadiens of Semyon Demidov. Carolina leads 3-1 in the match and will qualify for the finals if they win the next meeting. Otherwise, we will see the sixth game, and maybe the seventh.
